Why do these problems exist?
• Are these government related problems?
• Are these problems caused by other
factors, e.g., logistics, seasonal issues?
• Does the export procedure work better or
worse with certain countries?
GIZ, 2017
How to Address Market Access Problems?
• Government?
– National? Provincial? Local?
– Role of home government
• Chambers of Commerce/Associations
• Importers
• Consumers
• Formal or informal approaches?
GIZ, 2017
Potential Solutions
• Product-specific MOUs
• Localization of testing and certification
• Transparency in standards
• Capacity development
• Internet trade portals, data repositories
• Industry-government institutions
